AURORA
SKINS

Dress Aurora your way

A skin changes Aurora's whole look: its colors, its fonts, its drawings, all the way to the game overlay. You buy it once, install it in two clicks, and go back to the free themes whenever you like.

“Aurora is free, and it will stay that way, its five themes too. Skins are how I keep it going: every skin you buy helps me keep Aurora signed, up to date and ad-free. Thank you!”

— Denis

Installing it

Two minutes, with no Internet on Aurora's side.

  1. Buy the skin, then download its file (for example pixel.auroraskin) with the link you get by email.
  2. In Aurora, go to Settings, Language & theme panel, and click Install a skin… The window opens in your Downloads: pick the file.
  3. That's it: Aurora changes its look right away. To go back to a free theme, click it; your skin stays installed and comes back in one click.

Questions

The short answers.

Do the free themes stay?

Yes. Carbon, Neon, Ice, Light and Forge stay in Aurora, free. Skins come on top of them.

On how many PCs?

All of yours. A skin can't be resold or shared (licence).

Will Aurora connect anywhere?

No. Installing or wearing a skin needs no connection: Aurora only checks that the file is signed by it. A skin is never a program.

What if it doesn't work, or I don't like it?

Write to me within 30 days at contact@auroraapp.ca: I'll refund you in full (refunds).

Why paid skins?

Aurora has no ads and no account, and sells no data. Skins are its only source of income.

Are more skins coming?

Yes. Each one with its own mood, names and drawings of our own. Since Aurora 1.0.10, new ones install without updating Aurora.
